Lategame: Metalworker and a morphed Exalted Angel  beat me down to 6 life. His Karn,Silver Golem was walking into my Karakas.  Then he founds Demonic Tutor for Mountain for Rolling Earthquake.

Armageddon and very early Abyss disrupted my game complety. In the following 10 or moreTurns I only drew 3 Lands.

[PuTe]

PuTe-E-san    2:0      (UGr vs. Uwr-control)

mooneffects with counterbackup won the game twice!

1.Game:  aethervial with birds, lotus cobra, clique , and after a double fact or fiction (witness) magus

2.Game:  Jace 2.0 on 11 counters.After bounce (he tapped out) i resolved Magus with misdirection-backup for his l.Bolt

gg's
nice that you joined our league! u will improve ur play fast  gl next games

[Vazdru]

whisper (Aggro-Elves) - Vazdru (UGB-Reanimator)

1st: I won the roll and started with Sensei's + some shuffle effects. He had Crop Rotation + Worldy Tutor as I played Compulsive Research T3 which brings Iona + Hellkite to graveyard. So I've had the choice between lock (Iona) or Wrath (Hellkite) T4 for gg. I used Dance of the Dead for Hellkite to clean the board (3 elves) leaving him with Gaea's Cradle.

2nd: This time I've had no big guy but 2 reanimation-spells, Tainted Pact, Wild Mongrel, Miscalculation and 2 lands. T2 Tainted Pact revealed Phantom Nishoba and then Angel of Despair which i took. T3 he had 5 Elves + Sword of Fire and Ice on the board facing a single Wild Mongrel which won the game by letting me discard Angel + Sundering Titan. I countered his Regal Force and topdecked Explosives a turn later so there was no way left for him.

Thx for the ggs.

0:2

[Seveneyes]

Seveneyes (MUC) 2:0 PuTe (4c-Staxx)

Game 1:
He has a lot of mana artefacts and I play lands and evtl a Wake Thrasher. When i counter something, he searches and plays a Winter Orb to lock the game, he also has Maze of Ith. I mindlessly forget to attack, which lets him untap lands other than Maze. I collect more lands over the next turns and counter every now and then, a Catastrophe for example. My Nevinyrrals Disc wants to clean the board, gets bounced by a bribed Venser and finally does its job, leaving nothing but Chandra Nalaar on his side. Next turn Oblivion Ring solves this problem too and with some faeries and counter backup i win the game.

Game 2:
i waste his first turn Workshop and counter his Crucible of Words. He does nothing, evtl i put Glen Elendra Archmage into play with three more counters in my hand. I start beating him with Mishras Factory and Archmage and neutralize everything he plays. With Archmage and Riptide Laboratory on my side he concedes.

Thx for games!

[derStefan82]

derStefan82 (WRB-Staxx) - Seveneyes (MUC) 2:1

We played three epic games I think about two hours. As we had a hangup between game 2 and 3 I have no history for the first 2 games.

1. Game I got less manastones and he get lots of counters. He could find an answer for most of my threads like Burning of Xinye ... In the end I could cast Armageddon + Ravages in 1 turn and get all lands away. Afterwards I killed him with an angel.

2. Game I had a good hand and thought I get the game after playing winter orb I made the big misstake, I had Trisk and he Jace he played Controlmagic and I didn't shot the jace. The later game he gets lot of card advantage out of his jace and killed me in the end with my mindcontrolled Baneslayer. I had 3 or 4 tries for killing him with Abyss, Global, etc but he had always a counter for it.

3. Game I got early Crucible, Brown-Mana, Burning of Xinye which gave me a good start, I could beat him down with a few threads (Trisk, Weathered, Metalworker) until I got Obelisk of Alara helps me beating down. After Decree of Anh. the game was won.

Really hard and tactical games, thx for it.

[-jFk-]

-jFk- (MBC)    vs    TeKo (UBW Controll)

I win the die roll.
First game I start with Thoughtseize and then Turn 3 necropotence. He can't counter it so I draw a couple of cards but then the game crushes so we start again.

I have Ivory Tower on my starting hand and thinking about keeping it but I have Wayfarer's Bauble as well, and I want to play this on turn one so I spoil the tower and from the top comes... Necropotence.. shit happens.
On turn 3 I play Hypnotic Specter to force through Necro next turn. It resolves and he plays Jace Beleren (Which he had Turn 3 of all three games). He draws a card, I kill him with Specter and play Necro. I draw three and pass my turn. He plays jace 2.0 and bounces specter. I'm screwed on four lands but first I have to deal with Jace. Fortunately I have Demonic Tutor, which I play on Hexmage for Jace. I draw 2 (15 Life) to find land and discard graverobber and Suffer the Past. He goes with playing planeswalkers. This time it is Elspeth producing a token. I've found cabal coffers, try Oblivion Stone and go down to 12. He attacks with his pimped token (8 life) and plays venser to bounce stone. Now I have maze so i can relax a little bit and instead of just putting out the stone again I first play Mind Shatter for 3 of his 4 cards. He discards Muddle, Exalted angle and Academy Ruins. I draw 3 more cards and have only 5 life left so I don't mind about throwing away Skelettal Scrying at end of turn. Venser and pimped Token attack, but the Token doesn't (Maze) He does nothing else. Now I can play Stone again and I have Chainer's Edict as well so he cant do any more damage if he can't handle Maze. In this situation nothing is safer then drawing two more cards and dropping down to one single life point.
Since he has sacced his Token he produces another one giving Elspeth her eightth counter. And that is where I make a big mistake because of which.. nothing happened. What I did was not to activate the stone in my turn so I had to do it in his on response to Elspeth's ultimate activation.
He plays (indestructible) Eternal Dragon but I have Innocent Blood on hand and Edict in the grave. I play blood and then Hypnotic Specter. He takes back his dragon on his turn and I attack him (discarding Force of Will) and play Sorin Markov to go back to 3 life.
He has Vindicate for Sorin and Compulsive Research for his Hand (3 cards at this moment).
I attack him down to 12 and play Mind Sludge for the rest of his hand. He discards a Bribery which would have killed me very very fast.
He is hand down and doesn't even bother about getting back the dragon. Rather he draws a card, which is only a land and plays it.
I put him to 10 and play Liliana Vess. Because I have lots of nonbasics and cabal coffers, I search for Urborg.
When I attack him next turn he bounces specter and draws a card with Command. I activate Lilliana and he discards Island.
Now I have tons of mana so first of all I draw two cards going back to 1 life. Then I play Phyrexian Totem and Specter and pass the Turn with still some mana open.
He draws a card and plays main phase Intuition. An evil grin runs over my face because my Shadow of Doubt has just waited for this situation to finally win the game. The command for 13 next turn seals the deal just formally.

After an epic game like this is was really a pitty that he had to keep a five-card hand containing only one land in the second game. He was lucky enough to draw some early lands and it took me ages to get him down but he never draws enough lands and finally I can overrun him with Persecutor.
Funny situation is in the end when he tries to prevent me from destroying the persecutor:
I search Wasteland and destroy his second blue mana, he uses it to play Intuition for Force of Will, Pact of Negation (I don't get it at this moment), and mana leak which I also can afford. So it's gg after what seemed like at least 2 hours.

[Nastaboi]

Nastaboi Owling Mine vs. Mythrandir his deck

2 - 0

I started with T2 Temple Bell, T3 Horn of Greed, T4 Tangle Wire locking him out and begun bouncing his lands. Black Vise and Flamebreak Trap finished him soon off.

2nd game went draw-go as I wanted to get counter backup for my Walking Archive. Ankh of Mishra started eating away his life total, and I threatened to deal him 11 with Sudden Impact on his draw step. He had double counter, but had to tap out, and I played Upheaval+Psychatog next turn. GG's really.

[PuTe]

PuTe (WRBU-STAXX) - derStefan82(WRB-Staxx) 2:0

game 1: afet manadrain followed from tezzeret, mindslaver, and his armageddon the game was over.

game 2: he made mulligan twice.. sorry stefan !
ggs

[derStefan82]

derStefan82 (WRB-Staxx) vs Mythandir (5C-Control) 1:1

1. Game I had godhand with Workshop -> Monolith, Top 1. round, 2.round I got Thran Dynamo,
Later on Baneslayer and Obelisk made lots of Damage and I killed finally with Rolling Earthquake.

2. Game I had again long time control about the Match and we battled against each other.
But this game I made big misstakes. I was on 30 he on 6 I tryed to get him down with Rolling after
let my Lodestone Golem killed in the combat. But he had Counterspell and 2 mana open. Next round
I attacked with left Exalted Angel and brought him to 2 life. I changed my plan to find Geddon with
Demonit to play Trisk and kill him, but he played Seek on my Sundering Titan and went to 10. Afterwards
he could go for Wrath and I woth really out of pump. I conceeded to his Angel + Ajani Vengeant on my Maze
going to 8.

Did very long matches, as we both are not very good stuffed in time we decided to draw.
Thx for first test against 5C with this deck. Matchup is good as I thought before but have to play safe.

[cedzoh]

cedzoh (br goblins) vs coldrow (bant) 2:1

g1:
lackey into sharpshooter +bitterblossom+late ringleader-action win the game.

g2:i screw a bit and can't handle sword of fire and ice.

g3: he floods a bit, but has shackles+garruk. i have gempalm incinerator and volraths. this game goes very long. most of the time incinerator shoots a beast-token. after some time he concedes.

[Georg B]

Georg (WB Discard) vs Seveneyes (WBG Rock) 2:1

The first game crashed sometimes, but we were able to reconnect like 3 or 4 times.
At the end, he lost the connection. At that point he had only lands in play and no hand card (or was it one?) and I had Oblivion Ring and Mortify in hand plus Graveborn Muse and another creature in play, so he gave me the game.

In the second game I thought I would win easily cause I started with Hymn to Tourach second round and Stupor third round.
But in the end he could stabilize him self with Faith Fetters (2 times, because I played Oblivion Ring on it and he destroyed the Ring).
He had two manlands, so my Damnation could not save me from his mass of creatures threatening my 7 lifepoints.

Third game I had a good creature armada (Hypnotic Specter, Kitchen Finks, Dark Confidant, Stilmoon Chavalier) and got removal for each dangerous card he got. This plus some discard won me the game.
